How to Log In for Class Registration

This document describes how to log in to register for classes depending on your registration status.

Oakland University uses two different accounts to manage student records.

The first account is a Grizzly ID. Every student is assigned a Grizzly ID # (G00XXXXXX). This account can be used to access SAIL, register for classes, view transcripts, manage your tuition payments, and check financial aid. This is a private account # and should not be shared with others.

The second account is the NetID. This is the same as your email account. For example, if your email is netid123@oakland.edu, then your NetID is netid123. This account is used for communication between the university and the student. You use this account to log into SAIL portal and access all services listed above, as well as Moodle and Webmail

Grizzly ID accounts never expire however, NetID accounts expire one year after the last date of the semester you have taken classes. If it has been more then one year since you last attended classes, you will be unable to log in using your NetID. Choose a link below depending on your status:

Enter your NetID username and password and click Sign in. When you are logged in, click on the Academics tab located at the top of the page. Click on My Details. You Grizzly ID should be displayed under GID.

Once you aree logged into Sail, you can register for classes by going to the "Register for classes" link located in the Oakland Services box to the right.

On the Registration page click on "Look up classes to add."
